Can a ct scan show internal bleeding? or a rapid/or slow gi bleed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually : CT scan is not an appropriate test to detect GI bleed. Guiac stool test may be used for screening . Depending on the suspected site of bleed endoscopy or other investigation would be cocsidered. Wish you good health.
